Ga. man who posted video about Elton John arrested

ATLANTA — A Georgia man who posted a video on YouTube of himself holding a sign saying “Elton John must die” has been arrested for making terroristic threats.

Atlanta Police Sgt. Curtis Davenport says Neal Horsley was arrested early Wednesday in Carrollton, about 50 miles west of Atlanta. Davenport would not say who Horsley is accused of threatening, but Horsley’s son, Nathan, Horsley, says he believed the arrest is connected to the video about the musician.

Horsley complains in the video about John’s comments in a magazine interview last month that Jesus Christ was gay.

Horsley was being held Thursday in the Fulton County jail on $40,000 bond.

John’s publicist, Fran Curtis, had no comment.
